I would suggest to detect if material is interlaced in a seperate
filter and set the flag correctly from there. And have scale use the
flag by default

we can have also 2 flags one indicating that the headers are signaling
the content as interlaced and another that marks the content as
interlaced by analyzing the bitmap

then again, if the header based flags are unreliable enough then
simply not passing them into the filter graph could be used to
